[Aggies7]

Please... no Eddie chants... ever again

Unless it’s for Eddie izzard. He at least knows how to hit the cutoff man

[Aggies7]

That was the quickest start and finish to a rally I’ve seen

[D. Hocking]

 

That's a bad article.

 

Grand Forks has an Applebee's. 

 

I remember when Ely got a Pizza Hut (back when you ate at the Pizza Hut) it was a really big thing.  There was already a Dairy Queen so it was living large when you had two choices of where to go after the movie (there was a theater too - although the movie often broke down, and I think there might have been rats - in the theater not Pizza Hut).

Oh come on, it's not like I said he WOULD :-)

 

This is one of the moments where you just have to trust someone... mainly me.

We had a Pizza Hut in Thief River Falls. 

 

Then Godfather's Came in... Just a couple blocks from the high school. Godfathers also had Donkey Kong. 

 

We were so spoiled.

Does Eddie have options?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Apparently asking is usually free.

(as far as i got before posting so as to jump to where the action is happening.)

I am okay with him leaving something for the rest of the team to do...

Well he hit a long foul ball into the party deck in left, and were about 50-75 feet from disaster. Unfortunately this is baseball, and not horseshoes or hand grenades. Actually, fortunately this is not hand grenades.

Rosario swings first pitch or I’ll eat my hat

well, you nailed that one.

[drock2190]

Rosario always seems to get anxious in big spots and becomes swing happy at anything thrown his way

[Aggies7]

Does Eddie have options?

He’s probably got a girlfriend. Most ballplayers do.

[LaBombo]

Time for Rosario to atone for his new list of dumb mistakes!

 

Rosario is running low on atoner. Someone from I.T. is taking a look at him in the dugout.

at least one...in every AL city.

[Aggies7]

well, you nailed that one.

Good thing too, bc I’m not wearing a hat

[jimmer]

That describes evenings out in the big town of Virginia.    That also was where the nearest McDonalds was and their movie theater was open on weekdays unlike Ely's, so you had more than two days to see a movie before it was replaced by something else.    Although to be fair, I think Star Wars might have played in Ely for more than one weekend.

I presume i should just go ahead and catch up on the game thread.

 

The game itself doesn't appreciate my attention.

Was it a drive thru theater?

[Aggies7]

Well the pitching was good tonight, at least.

Certainly wasn't much defense to get excited about this game.

[slash129]

I am hoping the offense is not at their mid-season form.

I went to the bathroom as he came to the plate, did that help?

 

Him, I mean, not me.

[Platoon]

Applebee's? Godfathers? Pizza Hut? We had The Red Onion, and Ida's Cafe. And that was in the "big" town. The little town a couple miles away had two bars of course. Once I was 14 Pa let us take the car around the gravel roads to the small town. We had to promise to leave it parked in one spot once we got there.
